“Don’t be angry, Sixteen, it was this man who just kept pestering me to give me a hand, and he was the bodyguard of that little princess of the God family, and I couldn’t refuse, so I had to agree.”
She hurriedly apologised to him.
Luckily, when the teenager listened, he just gave a cold snort and didn’t say anything.
Only then did Ah Lan let out a sigh of relief and happily handed over the pastry in her hand again as well.

Bai Xiaodu found Ruo Ruo.
When he found the little girl sitting on the golden jade-paved steps, absorbed in fiddling with a sample of silver jewellery in her hand, he came over and pulled her up.
“Little brother Du, what are you doing?”
“Nothing, the floor is cold, don’t get sick, do it here.”
Bai Xiaodu took great care of the little princess and moved a stool over to her.
Ruo Ruo then happily sat down again.
Continuing to be busy, she didn’t notice that the youth behind her had also come to those golden legacy jades at this time, and then, only to see him sweeping around and finding no one around.
He then took a small blue thread, similar to a strand of hair, out from his body.
“Little brother Du, what are you doing?”
“I’m measuring how thick this amber is.”
The young man took the string in his hand and placed it on the wall of the piece of amber, only to see that as soon as he put it on, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes and the blue thread, just as he was looking at it, silently blended into this amber.
It was unbelievable.
Half an hour later, Ruo Ruo finally finished examining the sample.
“Little brother Du, let’s go.”
“Good.”
Bai Xiaodu had also completed his task, and satisfied, he followed this little girl and left the place together.
That night, the people in the king’s court suddenly had ma*sive diarrhea and vomiting, even the chief, who had also started a fever in the middle of the night, which the witch doctor could not bring down for a long time.
“Why are so many people suddenly sick? Is something wrong?”
Ah Lan was not to stay in the royal court at night, and when she heard the news in the middle of the night, she got up from her bed and asked her uncle.
“I don’t know, maybe it’s some evil spirit that has caught on again.”
But her uncle didn’t know very well, and after he had brought some red vermilion from home, and a bundle of dried straw, he was ready to use this most common method of the tribe – to ward off evil spirits.
And then went to deal with the matter.
Evil?
When Ah Lan heard this, that face became even more gloomy and ugly.
In a society like this now, where did evil come from? That was just the foolishness and ignorance of them people.
She got dressed and hurried to the King’s Court.
When she arrived at the royal court, she saw at a glance the wailing, the formerly majestic and solemn place where the highest authority of the tribe was located.
There were people lying everywhere, and the sound of grunts of pain was incessant in their ears.
“What’s going on? When did this happen to you?”
Her eyes grew gloomy and ugly as she came over, and the first thing she did was to squat down in front of the one closest to her, before pressing her hand to his pulse.
“A floating pulse?”
She stared up at the man.
“What have you been eating?”
“No …… no, we haven’t eaten anything.” The man’s face went pale and he immediately shook his head.
Ah Lan’s eyes became even more grim.
Floating pulses, in fact, were only caused by the body being cold, and just now she felt deeper and found that the pulse was still beating very thin, that meant that these people’s spleen and stomach were also being attacked.
An attack?
Her pupils narrowed, and for just a second, there was a wave of what looked like a poisonous snake that had been lying dormant in the darkness, but had been violently awakened with a viciousness that crumbled out of her body.
“Miss Ah Lan? Where are you going?”
“……”
No one paid any attention to this person.
This woman, whose name was Langa, immediately stood up from here and she then walked towards the inside with her eyes full of coldness.
A few minutes later, in a very isolated corner of this king’s court, this woman squatted down, and then, she could only be seen taking out a silver knife and slashing her wrist with force after.
“Hiss ……”
There was a creepy sound that emerged.
It was a sound that came from a creature, as if it had suddenly been summoned all at once, this woman, as the crimson blood snaked down her pale arm.
Nearby, surprisingly, the gra*s began to squirm.
And with this writhing, those who were being tortured in the king’s court, after hearing another even more piteous scream, they rolled even more on the ground.
What was going on?
Was it still there?
Her eyes snapped open again.
It was at this time that, not far away, the voice of someone calling out to her suddenly came: “Miss Ah Lan, where are you? Come quickly to the Sunken Incense House, Sixteenth Lang has suddenly gotten worse.”
Sixteenth Lang?
Her face instantly changed again, and immediately bandaged the wound on her wrist, and she got up.
And this air, as the richly scented blood smell disappeared, the commotion stopped, and those people, too, stopped howling ……
